Funded Activity Summary

Targeting cell death pathways in parasites. Schistosomiasis is a disease caused by parasitic worms. Due to the potential for drug resistance, new drugs are needed. This project aims to identify the components needed for parasite survival based on a cell death pathway in schistosomes. Neutralising the activities of these proteins should cause parasite death, providing a new treatment strategy.
